# Install GPG
brew install gpg

# Create config folders & files
mkdir ~/.gnupg
touch ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf

# Add this line to ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf
use-agent

Create a Key

When gpg asks your name & e-mail enter:

name -> github.com/user-name/repo-name
email -> emailed used in github account

# Generate key with passphrase
gpg --full-generate-key

# Example
/home/username/.gnupg/secring.gpg
----------------------------------
sec   4096R/XXXX <creation date>
uid                  name <email.address>
ssb   4096R/YYYY <creation date>

# Get secret key (the XXXX part)
gpg --list-secret-keys --keyid-format=long

# Edit the key to remove passphrase
gpg --edit-key XXXX

Type passwd
Enter your existing passphrase.
Enter the new passphrase for this secret key. (Leave this blank and press Enter)
Press Enter twice and consider the warnings from the tool and its implications before proceeding
